Ferritic nitrocarburised part and method of making and using the same

摘要

A number of variations may include a ferritic nitrocarburized part comprising steel, wherein the ferritic nitrocarburized steel has a tensile strength higher than the base steel material, and sufficient ductility, bendability, and flangeability to aid in subsequent bushing crimping and crimping. The exact increase in strength and bendability depend on precise process and alloy combinations.
